Just to keep the facts clear

TCM Remake - $9.2M budget - $107M in box office
Amityville Horror Remake - $19M budget - $86M in box office
House of Wax Remake - $30M budget - $45M in box office

none of those films were "flops." As a metter of fact the first two were HUGE hits and eve House of Wax made its money back BEFORE heading to DVD

The key to horror is keep the budget below $20Million.
